"Had not been here for a while. Found it a little changed, for the better. The pozole is still the best in town. Also liked the Mexican street corn and the fried cheese with chorizo. And they now have a really good tres leches cake. Even though shorthanded, the one waiter was attentive to our needs and the bussboys kept our glasses filled and the table free of used plates."

"Absolutely Amazing! The food is unbelievable! The Enchilada Sauce has the best flavor I have ever had at any Mexican restaurant in California!! The flavors are so deep that you keep tasting the goodness. The Carne Asada is also very yummy. Ordered the Tampiquena. The Costillitas Tatemadas has a very rich flavor. So very tender! You can tell that the food is made with love and the recipes have been handed down for generations. The people that work here are very nice and helpful. The ambiance is also very comfortable and inviting. You get the feeling that you are very welcomed and it is one of the best small businesses. They have been in business since 1954 and they were voted best homemade food in San Diego. Me and my husband can see why!! The smell from outside is why we decided to stop in for dinner. We will definitely be coming back!!"

"Sat down to have dinner after a ball game. Their chips and salsa are good. Solid table salsa, also chips kept flowing. Always a plus. Service was good. Rice and beans were bland and didn't really have flavor. Hence, the missing plate pic. Also missed the mark on the margaritas. Have a beer if you go. The atmosphere was nice and made up for it. Good music and service was good. Thank you."

"El Patio is a must-visit for anyone in the area. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The menu was extensive, but I decided to try their mango margaritas and mole enchiladas, and boy, was I in for a treat! The margaritas were the best I've ever had, the perfect balance of sweet and tangy with just the right amount of kick. The mole enchiladas were also outstanding, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the enchiladas were perfectly cooked. Every bite was a delight. The customer service was also noteworthy. The staff was friendly, attentive and always willing to help. They made sure I had everything I needed and made me feel at home."
